Unit 12, Unit 29 - Svpermchine


Sky Wave

This artist (Svpermchine) is actually quite similar to Ryan King, a previous artist I looked into. The main difference though is that his work is a lot more detailed and also comes with just as more detailed backgrounds to help add to the theme of his photo illustrations, but he also has a different style.

I absolutely love the added elements of fire and sparks on the man in the photo "Sky Wave". They really accentuate his movements and give a feel of 'power'. I also like the complimentary colours that add to these 'powerful' movements since, to me, red makes me think of 'danger' which is what this man could be, dangerous because of his power. There is also a sense of elegance to the strokes coming off the man which gives off a whole new feeling of calmness and relaxation.

Probably the main thing I might want to take from this is the emphasis on movement and how it can really add some sort of feeling to whatever it is I may do for my own photos for my alter-egos. Perhaps I could create an overly dramatic effect on myself rushing to an unaligned assortment of objects on a desk to really show how frustrating this personality of mine finds untidiness. Due to the content this could also turn out to be quite comedic which is something I'd LOVE to give a try.

Here are a few more pieces of his work which I believed utilized this feeling of 'movement' and atmosphere:
